No, you will not gain weight from donating blood. If anything your body has to work slightly harder to replace the blood you gave up.
The act of donating does not really affect the donor one way or the other. You drink some extra fluids. That's about it. Benefits? Free cookies!

I used to get a pint of ice cream for donating. Besides that donating blood forces your body to refresh it's blood supply,, so it's kinda cleans out the old blood if you will.

well, if you donate blood your the blood that you have lost (for a good benefit) will be replaced. and that is very good. I don't think you will put on weight if you donate blood.

The only way you will gain weight is if you donate frequently and eat too many of the snacks they offer afterward.

Nope. you don't.
As for benefits, you save someone's life... that is the only reason people donate normally...
Congratulations :D

the only thing that will happen is that you will become thirsty as a result to replenish the fluids in your body
